According to a news report in The Orange County Register, the fatal motorcycle crash occurred the night of January 25, 2016.

Head-On Collision

As he changed lanes, Hall said he thought he saw a person in a wheelchair on the roadway and swerved into the eastbound lane of traffic on Trask to avoid the wheelchair.
